Recycled Art : Tree

Now more than ever recycling is an important part of life, so it is important to get the children excited about recycling. Whether it means throwing their bottles in the recycling bin or have the children make recycled art, recycling is an important part of children's schooling. A simple project using bottles and magazines can be fun and informative.

To the left is my Recycled Tree which I used a bottle as the base and magazine clippings to cover the trunk. The branches are composed to twisted magazines portraying the texture of the branches and giving the tree volume. This particular tree was used in a lesson plan corresponding with the book The Giving Tree.
